This is not your standard London bike tour. While most routes stick to crowded streets and predictable landmarks, this experience takes you on a completely different journey — blending riverside cycling, nature, history, and local culture into one seamless ride.
We follow the Thames along quiet, hidden paths, passing through Battersea Park before continuing toward Putney and into the open landscapes of Richmond. Along the way, you’ll experience a side of London few visitors see — with scenic river views, local stories, and a relaxed pace throughout.
A highlight of the ride is Richmond Park, once a royal hunting ground and now home to herds of wild deer that roam freely across its ancient landscape. Deer are frequently seen throughout the park, although as wild animals their location varies from day to day.
With small group sizes and a carefully curated route, this is a more personal, immersive way to experience London beyond the crowds.

1Battersea Power Station
We begin our journey at the striking Battersea Power Station on the Thames, one of London’s most iconic landmarks. After a friendly welcome and safety briefing, we take a short ride around the redeveloped Power Station complex. Here you’ll hear the story of its transformation — from a coal-fired station powering much of London, to a cultural icon in music and film, and now a vibrant riverside destination. This first stop sets the scene, combining cycling with stories that bring London’s past and present to life before we head out along the river.

2Battersea Park
Next, we cycle into Battersea Park, one of London’s most beautiful green spaces along the Thames. Riding at an easy pace, we explore peaceful tree-lined paths, ornamental gardens, and lakes alive with wildlife. The park offers a quieter, scenic contrast to the bustle of the city, with plenty of photo opportunities along the riverside and within its landscaped grounds. It’s the perfect place to slow the pace, enjoy the fresh air, and experience a more relaxed side of London before continuing our journey towards Putney.

Leaving Battersea Park, we turn up the energy with carefully selected music playing through a portable speaker as we ride the lively stretch of the Thames Path towards Putney. This part of the journey brings us alongside the famous riverside rowing clubs, where you can often see crews out training on the water — a true slice of London sporting life. Across the river you’ll spot Fulham Football Club’s stadium, while the riverside pubs and boathouses of Putney add to the vibrant atmosphere. We pause at Putney Bridge to enjoy the views before continuing our scenic route deeper into southwest London.

From Putney we continue into Richmond Park, London's largest Royal Park and the highlight of the ride. Spanning 2,500 acres, it feels like a countryside escape within the city. We cycle at a relaxed pace through open grasslands and quiet woodland trails, taking in different areas of the park along the way. Keep an eye out for the famous herds of red and fallow deer that roam freely, and depending on the route that day, we may pause by one of the park's tranquil lakes or make our way up to King Henry's Mound — a protected viewpoint with far-reaching views across London and beyond. With around 75–90 minutes inside the park, there's plenty of time to enjoy the natural beauty and capture memorable moments before we loop back round and make our way back towards Battersea.

(Pass by)
To complete the journey, we cycle back the way we came — retracing the Thames Path through Putney and Battersea Park, taking in the riverside views from a fresh perspective as the afternoon light shifts. This final stretch gives us time to unwind and reflect on the day's ride before arriving back at Battersea Power Station, our starting point. It's a relaxed, scenic way to finish the tour, with the Thames as your constant companion the whole way home.
